“The original thought was that they were just going to be fined, that suspensions were not likely because rarely do players get ejected then face additional suspensions,” Rapoport said on NFL Total Access on Monday evening. “However, I am now told that suspensions are now possible for Aqib Talib and for Michael Crabtree.

“The reason is [that] the fight seemed to have ended and then ended up coming back in and escalating again into another different skirmish. [There’s] no firm word yet, the league continues to review this but suspensions are now possible for both of these guys.”

Regardless of what the NFL decides, Talib will not be disciplined by the Broncos, coach Vance Joseph said Monday.

“If the league steps in and they hand something down, that’s their decision,” Joseph said. “Internally, no because I’m not sure how it all started.”
